10. ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
10.1 CHARGING
The charging and discharging current limits in the tables below are for one battery. Installing and electrically
connecting batteries in parallel increases the current limits. For example, two batteries connected in parallel
effectively doubles the current values in the tables below. Adding more batteries increases the driving range,
current, and power capability.
10.3 PROTECTION LIMITS: AUTOMATIC SAFETY SHUTDOWN
As outlined in the following table, Trojan
®
GC2 48V Lithium-Ion batteries will automatically shut down under excessive
use conditions in order to prevent damage to the battery and connected equipment. This will generally result in total
loss of power to equipment.
Systems must be implemented and precautions must be taken to ensure that sudden loss of power does not result in
hazardous system behavior.
